I agree with Hound's fat *towards* the heat, direct heat (no heat
deflector)
especially in a K. Nice juicy almost pullable brisket. (Where *did* I
get
the idea?) vbg
I have been known to cook the brisket on the upper rack, with other
things
on
the main grill. This way, the brisket is closer to the radient heat of
the
dome and a few inches further away from the fire.

Removed at 4 pm after cooking at 190-200 since 8 pm previous night.
Picked
up, fell apart. Really hard bark on bottom, next time will be fat down.
Rest of meat was unsliceable, it fell apart like pulled pork. Very juicy,
full of flavor and big smoke ring. Did not use a thermometer to check, I
suspect it was done well before I pulled it off the grill.

Not bad, need a lot more spice rub next time though, and need to check
internal temp.

Next time, try a trick somebody showed me here on the newsgroup with pulled
pork. Slice the brisket up and then sprinkle some more of your favorite rub
across it before serving. It really enhances the flavor and gives the meat a
good appearance!
